Great Job, h_curtis !
I am curious how your intermodal commute worked, with 17 miles in & 5 miles coming back ?
I live 25 miles from my work place, and when the last 5 inches of snow melt off the 10 mile rail trail, I will begin my hybrid commute. I recently purchased a Saris Solo bike rack that is well-designed and has had good reviews from cyclists who transported their bikes over 1000 miles with no issues.
I'll drive the highway for 15 miles from my home, "pawk the caw", and pick up the rail trail for 10 miles. I'm turning 59 next month and like the balance of riding for over an hour each way, but not exhausting myself from enjoying other activities in the evening.
